[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1304764, member: 12995"] .280 Ackley Improved is going to require you to buy a new bolt, new magazine follower, and a new barrel. The .280 AI is based off the .270 Win/.280 Rem/.30-06 family of cartridges. The .257 Weatherby is a belted magnum cartridge that is based off a shortened and necked-down .300 H&H. It uses a magnum bolt face and magnum magazine follower, and the cartridge falls into the same category (cartridge size-wise) as the 7mm RemMag/.270 Weatherby Mag/7mm Weatherby Mag. Here's a comparison picture I found on google... Notice how much larger the .257 Wby case head and diameter is. Left - .257 Weatherby Right - .25-06 [IMG]http://www.rifleshootermag.com/files/2013/08/Best_hunting_cartridge.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
